Firm-product data provide information for various research questions in international trade or innovation economics. However, working with this data requires harmonizing product classifications consistently over time to avoid internal validity issues. The researcher must consider product code...

with respect to the bandwidth selection as well as the sampling frequency selection. The main finding is that the kernel … bandwidth is strongly related to the sampling frequency at the slow-time-time scale when applying a two-scale estimator, while … the fast-time-time scale sampling frequency is held fixed. The realized kernel density estimation enriches the literature …

This paper is concerned with the problem of variable selection when the marginal effects of signals on the target variable as well as the correlation of the covariates in the active set are allowed to vary over time, without committing to any particular model of parameter instabilities. It poses...

This paper is concerned with problem of variable selection and forecasting in the presence of parameter instability. There are a number of approaches proposed for forecasting in the presence of breaks, including the use of rolling windows or exponential down-weighting. However, these studies...

In this paper, we propose an intersection-union test for multivariate forecast accuracy based on the combination of a sequence of univariate tests. The testing framework evaluates a global null hypothesis of equal predictive ability using any number of univariate forecast accuracy tests under...

The Internet Appendix collects the proofs and additional results that support the main text. We show in simulations that our estimators perform well relative to alternative estimators and can be improved even further with an iterative approach. We also confirm that the distribution results,...

This paper develops the inferential theory for latent factor models estimated from large dimensional panel data with missing observations. We propose an easy-to-use all-purpose estimator for a latent factor model by applying principal component analysis to an adjusted covariance matrix estimated...
